It's back to normal.....

Whatever normal is.....

John Beer left NZ last night and as I write, is en route back to London. The past 10 days have been a bit of a whirl as we attempted to cover off a whole host of issues relating to Pingar.

I guess the key achievement was to prepare a road map for the next twelve months in our post-restructured, post-funded state. With client engagements underway in both the UK and NZ, it was critical that we both understood exactly where we stood. The meetings in NZ have confirmed that. Our position is now plain.

So Jacqui and I are now finalising our own plans to visit the UK at the end of next month. We will be on the ground for three weeks. It will enable us to roll reverse the activities of the past 10 days - namely, to meet our UK-based partners, advisers and clients to get a better 360 view of the global operation. Having ramped up our own Communication Strategy in NZ over the past few months, it is important we do the same in Blighty.

So for now, it's back to normal. Tauranga, Hamilton and Auckland. In that order. For the time being, London can wait.
